{The kindest person I know...}

Evette. 
Evette is the kindest person I know. She has the biggest heart in the world.
She cares about everybody all the time.
She frequently asks where Daddy is. When I tell her he's at work, she thinks about it and asks me if he's at the train by making her train noise. After I say that he is, she nods and is alright. [I think Evette thinks that Daddy works on the train. We pick up Sean from the DART [or train] on Fridays or whenever he works in Dallas office. So she says "Cheww cheww" for Daddy's work lol].
She must give equal kisses, snuggles, high fives, and knuckles to everyone. If she gives besos to dad, she must come find me to give me besos even if that means to run halfway across the house. If she gives one friend a hug, she must go hug all the other friends. If she gives someone knuckles [fist bump] then everyone else in sight must get a fist bump.
She shares her snacks with others. If I give her some goldfish, she always gives me a couple. The other day I was out working in the garden and Sean was getting her a yogurt covered pretzel - she knows those are my favorite so after making sure that Daddy got one she got one for me and ran around the house looking for me. Once they found me outside she came and gave me a pretzel, gave me a beso, gave Daddy a beso, and then went back inside to play. Adorable.
She has two books right now that make her cry. The first one is about jack'o'lanterns and one of the jack'o'lanterns has a sad face. She is very concerned about that pumpkin and it makes her cry if she looks at it too long. 

The second book is about the monkeys jumping on the bed. She feels so sad for those poor monkeys. She just holds her head and cries during that book. What a tender heart she has.
Today she was looking at the flowers with Daddy and noticed that one of the blossoms had died. She was very concerned and pretty sad about the situation. Daddy had to pluck it and throw it in the bushes so it wouldn't be dead anymore.
She also likes to take care of babies - real or play. She snuggles with her babies, gives them bathes, besos, tucks them into bed, feeds them, etc. For her little younger friends she likes to bring them books,  pat them on the head, give them hugs, etc. It's sweet.

She has the kindest, biggest heart in the world and I hope that she keeps that through her whole life. She teaches me so much. I feel like I'm a selfish person and she teaches me how to be better.
